Hydroponics
- There are several methods for growing all sorts of plants
without the use of soil. These hydroponics techniques allow more
growing flexibility and can produce amazing results. Hydroponics is
a method of growing plants, herbs, fruit, vegetables and flowers
without the use of soil. Instead, nutrient-rich solutions are used
to soak the roots of the plant with the necessary nutrients and
oxygen needed for the plants to grow. You will find all of the

Hydroponic growing methods in our Hydroponics section of our site.
» Indoor and Outdoor
Organics - Organic gardening is a simple concept. It
is gardening without the use of pesticides and non-organic
fertilizers. By eliminating potentially harmful products, organic
gardeners get the benefits of growing vegetables and herbs without
the risk of chemicals that are unhealthy and harmful to the
environment. While organic gardening can take a bit more work than
other types of gardening, the benefits are worth the extra effort.
Organically
grown fruits and vegetables are higher in vitamins and other
essential nutrients. Organic gardening avoids the use of all harmful
chemicals, so you and your family can avoid the dangers of taking
those chemicals into your bodies. The long-term health benefits are
numerous and important. Finally, organic gardening keeps your local
environment safe and contributes to the health of the natural
environment by eliminating harmful chemicals that can enter the
water system and pollute nature. We provide extensive information on
organic gardening and many products to help you create a healthy,
productive organic garden.
» The Key to Indoor
Gardening - Probably the most important factor to
success in indoor gardening is light, and plenty of it. Sunlight is
required for growing plants outdoors, so it needs to be replaced by
proper lighting for the indoor garden. Replacing sunlight requires
light that immolates natural sunlight. Growing plants require lots
of light to grow well, and typical indoor lighting is simply too dim
for plant growth. Specialized light sources, designed specifically
for indoor gardening, are needed.
These come in two basic forms. First, fluorescent grow lights can be
used for some growing situations. Special fluorescent bulbs provide
the correct spectrum of lighting for many types of plants, but not
all plants thrive under fluorescent grow lights, and multi-tube
fixtures are generally needed. High Intensity Discharge (HID)
lighting is the choice of most serious indoor gardeners. Either
Metal Halide or High Pressure Sodium lamps, along with matching
reflectors and fixtures, are readily available for all sorts of
growing situations.
